A local councillor has expressed concern that lorries are tailgating cars because of the introduction of average speed cameras on a stretch of the M4 in the Port Talbot area. The cameras were activated between junction 40 and 41 in January this year.

Councillor John Warman said, "Iím concerned that since these cameras have gone up, there has been quite a bit of tailgating with lorries. It is very dangerous. You get these lorries going right behind you, so closely, when the average speed limit is in force. You canít go faster because it is 50mph. Itís intimidating people." He acknowledges that cars also tailgate through the camera system.

The volume of fixed speed cameras on the roads of Western Australia is set to increase six-fold over the next five years - from 5 to 30

Additionally, speed and red-light cameras on the state's intersections are set to triple. In a bid to reduce the death toll on the region's roads the State Government will increase speed and red-light cameras from the current 30 to 90.

The number of drivers caught by a set of average speed cameras on the A282, the trunk road leading to the Queen Elizabeth II bridge at the Dartford Crossing, has increased by more than 300 percent in three years.

The figures were obtained by the Essex Chronicle in a Freedom of Information request.

During 2014, the cameras caught nearly 35 drivers every day, likely to pull in approximately one million pounds in fines.

Five motorists in England and Wales have been caught on camera driving over 140 mph in 2014.

The two fastest were both clocked at 146 mph on the M25 in Kent.

Three others made the list - one driver reached 145 mph on the M6 toll road, another managed 141 mph on the A1 at Great Ponton, in Lincolnshire and a further vehicle was recorded doing 140 mph on the A5, near Crick, in Northamptonshire.

TomTom have a new range of connected SatNavs that are reverting to the original concept of using your phone data to provide a connection to the TomTom servers to get up to date information.

The new GO x0 devices are differentiated by size. The GO 40 has a 4.3" screen, the GO 50 has a 5" screen and the GO 60 has, you guessed it, a 6" screen. All of the models come with lifetime TomTom Traffic information and also lifetime Map updates.

As I am advancing in years I decided to opt for the TomTom GO 60 with the large 6" screen. The idea was that the larger the screen the better I would be able to read what is on it.

We've had more emails about these 'stealth' cameras than just about any other subject we've covered so I thought it was time we set the record straight and cut through all the rubbish being spouted by The Daily Fail and Clarkson!

The cameras in question are called HADECS (Highways Agency Digital Enforcement Camera System). They are gantry mounted digital speed cameras, deployed on motorways where variable speed limits are operated. The first generation cameras could only cover one lane each, examples of these are those installed on the M42 and the M4 - A3 stretch of the M25, and they've been in use for some years, the first Home Office Approval for these was issued in 2008.

HADECS 3 is an updated variant with a single camera able to monitor up-to five active lanes of traffic, including those sections of motorway where a hard shoulder can also be used as a live lane. Even these aren't new, we first covered HADECS3 cameras back in May of 2014.

The biggest outrage being spread by the rags appears to be that they are hidden 'stealth' cameras and that they can issue speeding fines for exceeding the 70mph limit.

HADECS3 is no more discrete or stealthy than many other speed cameras, and being painted grey is not unusual. The original HADECS systems, installed over each live lane of a motorway, were hidden behind the variable speed limit signs so surely they were even better hidden?

The bluster about HADECS3 being used to enforce 70mph limits is also nothing new. These cameras have the type approval to enforce any speed limit that is legally in force and so they can be used to issue tickets for 70mph limits if Police so wished. We do not know of anyone who has been prosecuted for exceeding 70mph, as a result of evidence from a HADECS system, but that's not to say you should assume they aren't or won't ever be used for that purpose.

Whilst we could argue that it can, at times, be difficult to know the exact speed limit on a stretch of road, there is little excuse for not knowing that 70mph is the UK's national speed limit.

Now victims of a 2013 bus crash in Boston, Massachusetts are suing TomTom and Garmin for $15 million in damages. Thirty-five people were injured when the bus hit an overpass in the city.

The bus driver was using both a Garmin and a TomTom satnav, neither of which were intended for use by commercial vehicles, but the lawsuit claims that the GPS units were at fault for not providing road height restrictions.

So do these people really think it's TomTom and Garmin who are to blame and not the bus company and the driver? Or do they, as is more likely, think these companies might have more cash?

I might have commented that this sort of compensation culture claim could only happen in America but we seem to be moving towards the same habit of suing whenever we thing there is some money to be had.
